history

Origin of the village

The place name Zell is derived from ahd. Cella 'monastery, cell, chamber'. However, it has an expanded meaning here, because a monastery settlement cannot be proven. In this case, the term describes a “farm yard”, which was probably created for the construction of Eisenberg Castle . Without this base, the entire construction and the supply of the workforce would be inconceivable. Since, according to recent research, the castle was built around 1315, this farm yard must have been built back then.

Expansion of the settlement

Lively clearing and cultivation work has started from this former farmyard. Hans Morach “in der Zell”, to whom Anna von Freyberg-Eisenberg and her sons sold a third good in 1408 on the Dolden (in Schweingg ), will also have been involved. Morach was the owner of one of the - presumably - six farm estates that arose from the old settlement core through division up to around 1450. He is the first Zeller we know by name.

Manorial rule

When Bertold von Hohenegg acquired his “property” in 1382, namely Eisenberg Castle and its accessories, Duke Leopold III. ceded by Austria, he received this property back as a fief from the duke on the same date, for himself and his heirs. The farms of the village of Zell also belonged to this fief.

When the Hohenfreyberg lordship was split off around 1410, two goods were then presumably transferred to Friedrich von Freyberg-Eisenberg zu Hohenfreyberg , the rest remained with his brothers Peter and Heinrich von Freyberg-Eisenberg. In a further division of property in 1467 among the sons of Peters, the new rule Freyberg-Eisenberg-Hopferau was created. Now there were three manors in Zell:

  1. Freyberg-Eisenberg with two estates (the farm of Bärtlin Schuller and that of the Brechtlerin)
  2. Freyberg-Eisenberg-Hohenfreyberg (two courtyards)
  3. Freyberg-Eisenberg-Hopferau (a farm belonging to Spies and Wilhalm, as well as that of Jörg Berchtol (d) and Doman Täschler. Both properties later returned to the Freyberg-Eisenberg domain.)

This sometimes led to complicated circumstances in Zell: If, for example, a girl from a farm owned by the Freyberg-Eisenberg estate married in an estate owned by the Freyberg-Eisenberg-Hohenfreyberg estate, the woman had to get rid of serfdom and to the previous landlord for her "out of the country." "Brought assets pay the" deduction ".

There were differences between the Eisenberg and Hohenfreyberg subjects. a. again and again because of the grazing rights in the "Breiten Wies", a very large property below today's "Schlossbergalm". Before the first division of power, this meadow was cultivated by the castle miners, at that time as owners of the Eisenberg construction yard. When the Hohenfreyberg rule was split off, the right to graze on the Breiten Wies was apparently not clearly regulated. Therefore, in 1692, the Hohenfreyberg bailiff Franz Hacker in Zell ("at Wiedemann") was of the opinion that Hohenfreyberg farmers also had driving rights there.

Parish of Zell

In the treaty of 1382, with which Bertold von Hohenegg left his rule to Duke Leopold, no church in Eisenberg is mentioned. Some of the subjects had to walk over two hours to the parish church in Hopfen if they wanted to attend the service. That was very difficult, especially in winter. Therefore, the Freybergers (as successors of the Hohenegger) tried to found their own parish in Zell. You must be seen as the founder of the St. Moritz Church . The church was built before 1460, because in that year the Augsburg Bishop Peter approved a foundation from the Hopfen priest Konrad Binwang for the maintenance of his own “cooperator” (vicarious clergyman) in Zell. With this, Zell became a curate of the parish of Hopfen. However, it was not until 1549 that an Ubaldus Keller was named as the first curate. Another step towards an independent parish was in 1626, when Bishop Heinrich approved burials in the cemetery around St. Moritz. In spite of this, it was a long time before the Kuratie Zell was elevated to an independent parish by an ordinariate decree in 1787. Now the clergy in Zell could justifiably call themselves pastors.

The Esch of Zell

The corridor of Zell is divided into the forests on the northern Schlossberg, in the Esch around the village and in the Allmende south of today's OAL 2 district road. Larger arable areas in the Esch were the Langäcker, Steinäcker, Sandgrub, Seestall, Stockach, the staircase, the Melbäcker and the courtyard garden. The fields in Vogelherd and those in Anger had broken out of formerly manorial property . In the meadow there were uneven meadows, also in the Sulz. Peat was cut in the moss areas.

Zell Dairy

The cheese kitchen in Zell, 1930

After Carl Hirnbein introduced dairy farming in the Allgäu, a so-called house cheese dairy was also established in Zell. From around 1850 Emmentaler was produced in the cellar of the property "beim Bickl", later in the property "beim Sefl". At that time, production only took place in winter because the farmers sold their cattle in spring and only stocked up on new animals before the onset of the cold season - especially at the market in Imst , Tyrol.

Around 1870, what was then a “wild cooperative” made up of farmers in Zell decided to build a dairy. It was built in front of the property "beim Daumeler", whose owner donated the land for it. In 1934, the unorganized association was registered with the registry court as the Zell dairy cooperative.

Although the milk delivery volume of the Zell farmers was no less than 602,257 l in the end, an independent dairy was no longer profitable enough. In 1967 a general assembly decided to liquidate the cooperative and join the Ostallgäu milk processing company in Rückholz .

Monuments

Plague cemetery

Plague cemetery in Zell

On the road to Schweingg, outside of Zell, there is a square with three crosses, enclosed by a stone wall. The middle wooden cross is framed by two stones with wrought iron crosses. They are probably grave monuments that were later moved here from the cemetery. The inscription on the left stone (in the earth) reads: "+ JULY 3, 1729 THE WOLEHRWIRDTGE DIED HER ALDA GEORG GO [M] BORN BY RUEDRACZHOFFEN RIP". Gom (born February 21, 1676 in Ruderatshofen ) was curate in Zell from 1703 to 1729. The inscription on the left stone is largely destroyed. The chipped front is kept in the Castle Museum in Zell.

According to tradition, this is a plague cemetery. It was probably created in 1635. At that time around 55% of all residents in neighboring Pfronten died . In 1987 the facility was renovated and an old tombstone with a sign pointing to the memorial was placed on the street side.

Wayside shrine

Wayside shrine in Zell

At the Burgweg 8 estate there is an old wayside shrine that bears the year 1733. A patriarchal cross is placed on the 125 cm high stone . In the barred niche stands the image of the Scourged Savior on the meadow .

On an old panel painting (early 18th century), which shows the (reconstructed) Eisenberg Castle and the castle hill and part of Zell, a stone with a cross is shown in the field east of the village, in the legend as "bilt-Saul" designated. It could be this wayside shrine because the Burgweg 8 property did not exist at the time.

Tombs

In the cemetery and at the parish church there are a number of walled-in historical gravestones.

Zell today

In the past, Zell was seen as the largest town with the parish church as the center of the Eisenberg community, although it was located on the western edge of the community area. With the establishment of a community chancellery in the more centrally located district of Pröbsten (since 1979: Eisenberg), the importance has shifted somewhat. After the closure of a village shop, a defeat of Baywa and a bank branch, Zell has now become a pure place of residence. However, due to the designation of new building areas and the settlement of new residents, the number of houses has more than quadrupled for 30 years. In addition to agriculture with two full-time farms, only tourism plays a role. There are also rooms and holiday apartments and a large hotel available.

At public facilities in Zell there is now a base for the volunteer fire brigade, a kindergarten and the castle museum. The Freyberg-Eisenberg shooting club has its clubhouse here.
